Life Lately and Menu Monday!

I have not written in a while on my blog, I didn't feel like blogging at all.

In the past 3.5 weeks, I have done a lot and a lot of things have happened, like those things:

• I am officially done with my Masters. I'm getting my diploma on graduation in Québec city on June 16th! I can't wait!

• I met my niece for the first time, she was born on March 30th. She is so precious!

• I have done more than 300 km of bike.

• I have done the 30 Day Shred!

• I lost 5 pounds.

• I have organized old pictures (more than 2000!) and it was really fun to go through more than 2 decades of pictures!

• I read 6 books, just for fun! 

• I began to write a novel! Not sure how it will turn out but I'm trying to write! 

Also, I'm leaving for Montréal in a few days to work for 6 weeks, as I do every year. I will stay at my sister's apartment and I can walk to work, I love it! I can't wait to be in Montréal, I love that city! I will miss Boyfriend of course, but I need to work!

Friday Confessions

• I confess that I would love to live somewhere else than the province of Quebec, temporally or permanently, I don't know! When I was young, my family moved to New Brunswick for 1 year, so I can say that I have lived in NB and Quebec! So I have been to New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, but never been to Western Canada. I would like to move to another Canadian province, like Ontario maybe, I really love Toronto! But Boyfriend hates Toronto! Boyfriend loves British Colombia, he has lived in Vancouver for a few months several years ago and he enjoyed it so much (warmer weather!)!

• I confess that I have a lot of stress going on in my life right now and I'm not sure how to deal with that.

• I confess that I have not worked out a lot in the past few days because our stationary bike was broken! But it is now repaired, so I can go back to my normal routine!

• I confess that I want to buy new books! I love books! And since I'm on a limited budget, I cannot! (Insert sad face here!)

• I confess that the house market here is insane! The prices of houses are so high and are totally unaffordable for us! I'm talking about $200,000 for an old mobile home! Or $360,000 for a 1970 bungalow that needs a lot of updates!

• I confess that I need to get a lot done today!

Happy Friday and happy weekend!!!
